Slide 7 © 2004 By Default! A Free sample background from State-of-the-art in Learning Design Editors - Tools Tree Based Editors RELOAD RELOAD does not require the user to edit any XML code, simply to drag resources into a tree structure, leaving the application to generate all the code to represent the tree. RELOAD inspects the resources included by the author and manages all the references to the components of those resources. aLFanet LD Editor aLFanet LD Editor uses a tree-based interface and intended for users who already know the LD specification in detail. This editor is embedded in another application which provides it with services. Komposer Komposer supports user group with limited technological skills by offering predefined pedagogic activities, and a workflow which takes them from authoring to delivery. The complexity of the task facing the author is reduced by restricting UOLs to one role and a single path. Copper Author The tool is designed to import and merge (incomplete) IMS-LD files. It will offer a Graphical User interface for Coppercore in which users can be added and runs can be previewed using Coppercore. High Level Editors MOT MOT is a general purpose high-level graphical editor - aims to provide learning designers with tools which they require to define any structure which they may need. LAMS LAMS is a specialized high level editor that takes as its starting point the sequencing of a set of preset activities, rather than the application of pedagogic templates to content. It does not at present produce or run LD code.
